You're dead to me
It might be hard to understand
I'll show the world who you really are
So just step aside
So let this be the beginning
The time of liars and thieves is descending
And let this be your warning
The path of the wretched is burning
I thought I knew you
Now you can't save your name
We won't follow the deceiver
Don't try to silence my words with your lies
We won't follow the deceiver
What were you searching for when you stabbed me in the back?
What were you lying for when we gave you all you had?
I finally see that you've fallen away from the bond that we had
I fear it won't be the same
I thought that I knew you, but you threw it away
Now you're dead to me
Fuck you
I thought I knew you
Now you can't save your name
We won't follow the deceiver
Don't try to silence my words with your lies
We won't follow the deceiver
This is what I expected
Another life lesson is what I'm left with
Look at what you've started
A war of words is what we'll part with
So don't act like you don't know exactly what you really are
The truth will find us both in the end, in the end
The difference being that it will show me blameless
While it robs you of your breath
Your deceiving is worthy of receiving an end
So don't act like you don't know what you are: my friend
I thought I knew you
Now you can't save your name
We won't follow the deceiver
This is what I expected
Another life lesson is what I'm left with
Look at what you've started
A war of words is what we'll part with
(We won't follow the deceiver)
This is what I expected
Another life lesson is what I'm left with
(We won't follow the deceiver)
Look at what you've started
(We won't follow the deceiver)
A war of words is all we'll part with
You're dead to me
So don't act like you don't know

In a 2010 interview with AltPress, vocalist and frontman Tyler “Telle” Smith said of the song:
This is a song about being betrayed by your best friend. It has some personal reflection based on some unfortunate choices friends of the band and some of my friends have made during the past year. But th...
